Drawers on Windows

Post by AlexAdams » Sat Aug 29, 2009 9:45 pm

I've recently implemented a drawer facility in a core app I am building in runRev 3.5. It works beautifully on Mac, but the windows side does not produce the effects I need.

Is there a way I can take control of this process so that it works the same on all platforms?

I have the Tactile Windows Demo from Tactile Media and it has an example, but I think I'm missing a key piece of code that keeps the two windows in sync as they are moved around.

It would be great if the drawer feature could be cross platform. Maybe in 4.0?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex Adams

Would be nice to see such on Windows and Linux, but the Drawer is a native to Mac OS X thing, which is why you haven't seen it on Windows or Linux. :-(

You can use the moveStack message to keep stacks together when they're being dragged. But personally I prefer disclosure triangles over drawers, since drawers are OS X-only but every OS, even OS X, supports disclosure triangles.
